  I’ve always been a sucker to medieval war stories with battles on the sea. The Saxon Stories are set in the 9th century England (which coincides with the early Viking Age) with the The Viking Challenge and the Rise of Wessex as the backdrop. The anglo-saxons are lead by Alfred the Great, and the danes are mostly lead by small and big lords, some of whom are entirely fictional. The story is essentially a first person narrative, told by the Uhtred Ragnarson who is actually an ancestor of the author himself.
